curriculum.

Not terribly worried about my daughter being ill-informed since she's been given all that info by us, but I am disturbed that the most important (and most likely to piss of some jerk parent somewhere) subject didn't get covered.

    - Hell, I even personally checked with our pharmacy to confirm Plan B would be sold without issue, if she came in looking for it. - TWuG Mar 11, 18:22
  - Then the teacher shouldn't be the person that you should be contacting. - spamlet Mar 11, 18:15 4
    - I'm not calling the teacher, I'm calling the Vice Principal to discuss the curriculum to see if I need to make a fuss further up the food chain. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 18:17 3
      - Mmph. as a teacher, I'd actually prefer you contacted me before going to admin on this stuff - Reagen Mar 11, 18:46 2

        Advice taken. I just sent an email to both outlining my concerns and asking for clarification. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 19:13
  - there's no excuse for incorrect info., but I could see deferring abortion to parents. - b. Mar 11, 18:08 1

  - meanwhile the session I sat in on yesterday had discussions about dental dams and zoophilia. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 18:05 4
    - That would have been an epic NPR interview. -- nm - David Mar 11, 18:13
    - Yeah, but that was in the teacher's lounge... -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 18:08 2
      - I assumed he was talking about us and raced to check the BBs. :) nm - ralph wiggum Mar 11, 18:09 1
